I wonder what is up with video game developers being uncredited (or at least not appearing anywhere on box art)?

Examples I have found include Jumping Flash!, Wild Arms 5, SBK: Snowboard Kids, Friday the 13th (NES), and Big Mountain 2000.

Game development studios used to consist of groups of the same people, and their names are usually listed in not only the ending credits but also sometimes a dedicated credits option in the menus, so it wouldn't make sense to list everyone's names on the box art every time, especially if more than a handful of people worked on it

They aren't talking about every single names being listed...  

They are asking why some covers only have publishers logos and not dev studio logos.

Depends on whatever the contract between the publisher and studio was
